My career in Real Estate began part-time in 2004 as my husband and I happily raised our 2 children. When they grew and became more independent, I expanded my business to a full-time endeavor and what a BLAST I have had all along the way.
I’m 5th generation Californian and this is the 4th time I’ve found myself living in the Sacramento area. It has been years now and we LOVE it! After 17 moves – yes, SEVENTEEN - I am very happy to say that we’re now in our "forever" home and all of my personal experience with moving has been put to excellent use, because I truly know what it’s like to buy and sell a home!
Having two children who were active with school and after-school activities has made me very familiar with Sacramento and the surrounding areas, and getting to revisit them all, as I help guide my clients to their new homes has been wonderful. In fact, just the other day I showed a home in Lincoln that was two doors down from the very first one my husband and I lived in more than 25 years ago!
It is wonderful to be able to live and work in the Sacramento area. My husband and I often joke about how Sacramento is a great place to live if you want to get out of town because you can hop in your car and drive two hours East for Lake Tahoe or two hours West for The Pacific Ocean! We feel like the world is our oyster – and it’s a world made even more accessible, with the Sacramento International Airport being just a short shuttle ride away.
I believe that Real Estate is the ultimate service industry and being of service to my Clients is something I take great pride in. Beginning with the very first call or meeting, my goal is to patiently guide my Buyers and Sellers with integrity and perseverance through what is most often the most important purchase they’ll ever make. Even with its challenges, it is such an exciting time and I am always thrilled to be there every step the way for them, whether my clients are first-time home buyers or seasoned investors. For me, it's like putting together a huge jig saw puzzle, and - ask anyone who knows me - l LOVE puzzles!
I am passionate about Real Estate and I enjoy helping people buy and sell their homes. If you or someone you know is looking to buy or sell, I would be happy to help.
I cannot thank Karene enough. I sold my starter home and moved up to my next home and could not have done it without her. She was patient and knowledgeable and guided me through the whole process.

Karene was great every step of the way. She was extremely knowledgeable and helpful from listing our house to sell, to attending closing with us. Our h ome sold in 1 weekend. I wish that I could have taken her with me when we had to search for a new home in Southern CA. We have owned 9 houses in the past, and this was the best and easiest interaction we have ever had with a real estate professional.

I can't say enough wonderful things about my experience with Karene!! I was looking for very specific criteria for my new home, which made it a long tedious process. Karene was very patient and extremely helpful in finding the perfect home of me. Once I found what I was looking for, Karene made the process was quick, smooth, and easy. I love my new home and I would HIGHLY recommend Karene for any real estate needs.

Karene was super sweet when we'd bring our little boys along, and she was very supportive and encouraging. She went above and beyond being available for inspections, etc, and keeping us up-to-date throughout the process.

Karene is the best! She was always professional and responsive to our needs. She genuinely cared about our family finding the right home and her stellar personality made her very easy to work with. I would say that we were very lucky to have her in our corner. Yes, I would recommend Karene a million times.
